    Working with Hand Dyed Yarns

    Hand-dyed in small batches in Tasmania.

    The beauty and nature of hand dyed yarn is that every skein is unique and individual. Even within the same dye batch variations between skeins can occur.

    We therefore recommend alternating skeins within your projects to ensure an optimal finish and colour blending.

    Please also ensure you buy enough yarn for your project at the time of purchase, as colours can vary between dye batches.

    Care Instructions

    Our hand dyed yarns have been washed to remove excess dye, however some residual dye may remain, particularly in dark and saturated colourways. 

    It is recommended to gently hand wash your hand dyed projects in cold water.

    Wool wash or a mild detergent may be used.

    We recommend blocking and drying garments flat and not tumble drying.
